With the new design of the interface used in JuliaOpt, it is now possible to formulate BMIs in JuMP. There exists several BMI solver in Matlab (e.g. BMIsolver) but I am not aware of any existing in Julia. I am currently in need of a good BMI solver in Julia. Is there anyone working on one ?
NOTE: There is BilinearJuMP which is related.

I implemented the approach from this paper once in Matlab, but I don’t currently have any plans to port that code to Julia. It’s not that hard to implement though. It worked alright, not great (I’ve never had great luck with BMI solvers in general).
I think it would be nice to have something like BMIBNB, the branch-and-bound ‘super-solver’ (in the sense that it internally uses other existing solvers) from Yalmip in Julia.
